Cory Is Spinning Outta Control!

[pcam86]

Hi, I have 4 corys: 3 peppered and 1 panda. The panda cory has started spinnging and flipping around the tank so i figured it was a problem with his swim bladder so i added the swim bladder treatment on saturday. He seemed fine until just as he's started to flip around badly yet again. I'm not due to add the 2nd dose until wednesday so what else can i do until then? Add 2nd dose sooner? Could it be anything else because other than the swim bladder i have no idea what could be wrong. P.S my All water stats are fine. Thanks

Is he spinning fast as it can be a parasite.

he's basically showing the signs of swim bladder problems and is trying to swim around the tank and is just flipping around as he goes. i can't work it out!

Just when you said he was spinning, sadly once swim bladder has progressed there ins't a cure, if you can issolate you could try tetracycline, does he have any boils on him.

no there's nothing on him at all. the next day after using the treatment he was able to swim fine for like the next 2 days then it came back today.

Try him on some shelled peas and frozen daphnia also, good luck, as panda cory are very prone to bacteria problems, good luck.
